HID 2101CGGNN Composite iClass 16K/2 Credential Card
When you need durable, high-security credentials for multi-application access control deployments, composite construction delivers the mechanical strength that PVC cards can't match. This HID iClass credential combines 16K bit memory with Config F encoding in a composite card body—front and back gloss finish, no printing, no slot—ready for your custom encoding and badging workflow.
Key Features
- iClass 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology with 16K bit (16,384 bits) memory capacity
- Configuration F encoding enables two-application deployments with secure, independently managed credential data
- Composite card construction—polyester core layered with PVC—resists cracking, warping, and edge wear in high-use environments
- Front and back gloss finish provides professional appearance and accepts thermal transfer, dye sublimation, and direct-to-card printing
- No pre-printed numbers or slot punching—blank canvas for full custom badging and sequential numbering per your requirements
- Standard CR80 credit card dimensions (3.375" x 2.125") compatible with all standard card printers and badge holders
- Read range and performance consistent across HID iClass readers and multi-technology solutions
Composite cards occupy the middle ground between economy PVC and premium PET-based credentials. The polyester core significantly improves dimensional stability compared to standard PVC, making these cards better suited for outdoor badge use, high-frequency tap scenarios, and environments where cards experience regular flexing stress. The 16K memory capacity supports storage of multiple applications on a single credential—access control plus cashless vending, time and attendance, or logical access—with Config F's dual-application structure maintaining separation between datasets.
The no-number, no-slot specification gives you complete control over visual security features and numbering schemes. Print sequential badge numbers that align with your database, add employee photos and department codes, or leave one side blank for future re-badging. The gloss surface on both sides accepts standard card printer ribbons and provides adequate dye adhesion for full-color photo badges. These credentials ship ready to encode with your HID iClass programming equipment, then move directly into your card personalization workflow without pre-printing constraints.
